Sacred streams of Gandhamardan draw devotees seeking redemption
Orissa POST
|June 18, 2025
Nestled in the verdant foothills of the Gandhamardan range, a region renowned for its natural beauty and unique biodiversity, lie the spiritually significant twin pilgrimage sites of Harishankar and Nrusinghanath.
While Nrusinghanath adorns the northern slope of the hills in Bargarh district, Harishankar rests on the serene southern edge in Bolangir district. Both are revered tirthas (pilgrimage spots), steeped in mythological heritage and ecological wonder.
Amid the rocky terrain, lush forests, and echoing valleys of Gandhamardan flow more than 30 perennial waterfalls, the most famous of which is ‘Papanasini’ — a sacred cascade near the Harishankar temple believed to possess the divine power to absolve sins. The name itself means ‘the destroyer of sins’.
